These collections were for a long time stowed in the Vaughan library, and have now found a new home in the museum recently erected by the Governors. The conditions of the bequest provided that the collections 'should be placed as soon as possible in a suitable and convenient place belonging to the said Governors of Harrow School.' Yet at the beginning of this year absolutely nothing had been done for their proper exhibition. In view possibly of another stipulation that they be not dispersed,' the archæological antiquities were huddled into two or three wall-cases, which they shared with fossils and other natural history specimens; this arrangement, however interesting from a natural history point of view, was hardly what Sir Gardner would have called 'suitable and convenient.'

After infinite trouble Mr. Cecil Torr succeeded in obtaining permission to take the collections in hand, and it is due to his energy and generosity that Harrow is now in a unique position as compared with other schools which have or have not a museum. The collections have been scientifically arranged, mounted, and exhibited, and the excellent catalogues above mentioned have been drawn up at the instance and expense of Mr. Torr.

These catalogues are modelled on a plan which is likely to initiate a new epoch in the study of archeology in our public schools. The works of both Mr. Budge and Mr. Torr give us elaborate and careful catalogues which supply all that professed archæologists are likely to require; but they are furthermore practical manuals of the subjects they deal with, calculated to interest and instruct even the most wilfully ignorant in these subjects; and in this connection they will be most welcome in other schools beside Harrow. Mr. Budge, for example, with the abundant assistance of a beautifully clear hieroglyphic fount, makes his classification of scarabæi, Ushabtiu figures, deities, sacred animals, &c., and a short introduction to the study of each branch of his subject; while two very important lists are added, giving (pp. 6-8) the common phonetic, syllabic and determinative signs, and (pp. 87-104) the principal kings, with their cartouches and dates (after Brugsch) down to B.C. 358.

Mr. Torr's remarks have a similar value for the Greek vases, terracottas and bronzes: prefaced by a vigorous setting forth of the claims of archæology as 'the only outcome of classical education (apart from the unrivalled training of the mind) by which a man is likely to set much store when he is past five-andtwenty,' and some useful remarks as to the choice of the literature of the subject. For general purposes it is worth noting that this collection contains inter alia the following vases of interest: nos. 23, 24. Two unpublished Panathenaic amphora. 50. Krater r. f. with Kaineus in Centauromachia. 52. Kylix r. f. with seven Theseus scenes in interior and four repeated on exterior. 53. Kylix r. f. with exterior and interior in style of Epiktetos: 'Alo[ías] kaλós. 55. Amphora r. f. Satyrs holding armour, style of Duris. 56. Oinochoe, r. f. boy with hoop and stick, style of Hieron.-CECIL SMITH.

BRITISH MUSEUM.-The conversion of the old Print Room into a gallery of sepulchral monuments announced in the June number of this Review (p. 176) has progressed so far that the gallery is now open to the public. When the temporary floor has been replaced later on by a permanent floor about six feet lower down, the reliefs which have been built into their permanent places in the walls will be seen from a more satisfactory point of view, and the smaller reliefs which are now ranged in rows in the centre of the room will be placed round the walls below

these. Some large sarcophagi will then be placed along the centre.-C. T.

In the Jahrbuch 1887 p. 145, Studniczka is inclined to suppose from his reading of an artist's name Γ]νησιάδης οι Μ]νησιάδης that the same name is traceable on the alabastron from Cyprus recently acquired by the British Museum (see Classical Revicio 1887, p. 26). I have already pointed out that there are good reasons for reading laσiáons and no more. The vase in question will be published in colours in the forthcoming number of the Hellenic Journal by Mr. Murray, who agrees entirely with me on this point.-C. S.

1. Conze bronze statuette of Hermes, in possession of Herr v. Radowitz in left hand has been kerykeion, in right is a ram's horn and ear: markings in silver plate and cut. 2. Studniczka: (a very important article): (i.) restores statue by Antenor on the base inscribed with his name: the Naples group of the Tyrannicides must be referred to Antenor, not, as was supposed, to Kritios and Nesiotes: the Nearchos here noted is not the potter of that name, although traces of dedications of their wares by known vase-artists have been found. (ii., iii.) The early history of painting as given by Pliny is actually borne out by evidence of vases, if we assign (iv.) the commencement of r.f. painting to the time of the Peisistratidæ a conclusion confirmed by references on vases to individuals of that period: one plate, eleven cuts. 3. Düminler: an Attic lekythos from Cyprus: between the revolt of Onesilos and B.C 449 no Attic importations to Cyprus were possible; so that the r.f. vases found there must be referred to the sixth century. Probably the introduction of the r.f. style is contemporary with an early stage of b.f. painting. Relation of vase-painting to Polygnotos: denies strong influence of Parthenon sculptures on vase painting: plate. 4. Robert: bronze statuette of a kottabos-manes in Berlin Museum: cut. 5. Sittl: the Hesiodic shield of Herakles; the descriptions are not merely poetic fancies, but correspond with the art and technique of the beginning of the seventh century, at which time we may imagine a similar actual shield to have existed: it points strongly to a Boeotian, perhaps Theban, original. 6. Belger: note on the bronze statue of a boxer recently found in Rome. 7. Morgenthau: a vase described in Bullet. 1873, p. 169, and now in Metropolitan Museum of New York: the so-called Myronic group is only the group of a Satyr and Mænad, a mere reminiscence, like many others, of the famous sculpture: cut.

5. Stettiner: the inferior weight of the Etruscan as is not due to the late adoption of the as grave into Etruria, but is a reduction from a primitive series previously existing there. 6.

Barnabei: an interesting inscription found on the Via Ostiense, recording a decree of July 25th, 227 A.D. in answer to a request of one Geminius Eutychetes to the Quinquennales that he might erect a small monument (memoriola) in the horti olitorii: with reference probably to a collegium magnum of slaves and freedmen of the imperial household.

Revue Archéologique. July-August. 1887. Paris. 1. Berger: the basalt sarcophagus of Tabnith, recently found by Hamdy Bey at Saïda, with transcription of the very important Phoenician inscription by Ernest Renan: Tabnith was the father of the Eshmunazar, whose sarcophagus was discovered in 1855. The form is anthropoid, and the inscriptions are in hieroglyphics and Phoenician characters. The date is probably about the beginning of the third century B.C.: two plates. 2. Vernaz: Notes on 'Excavations at Carthage, 1884-5': plate. 3. Vercoutre: the necropolis of Sfax and the custom of burial in jars: the jars are broken or sawn in two, the body, sometimes nude, inserted, and the parts of one or more jars are then rejoined; the whole is then laid horizontally, and covered with a roof of large tiles; the gable ends thus formed are also blocked with tiles: three cuts. 4. Bazin the amphitheatre of Lugdunum; a letter preserved in Eusebius from the Christians in Lyons to their brethren in Asia, describes certain martyrdoms in the amphitheatre there, which seems to have been discovered by M. Lafon. 5. Deloche signet rings of the Merovingian period: continued. 6. Homolle: the Iomilcas mentioned in the Delian lists is the same as the Carthaginian ambassador honoured in an Athenian decree (Hicks' Manual, 142). 7.

PART 9. (I.) Visconti describes an interesting marble relief, recently discovered in the Villa Ludovisi it occupies the three faces of a rectangular framework, which may have served to protect some aperture. On the front is a female, only half seen, rising apparently out of water, assisted by an attendant on each side, who hold the ends of a veil which passes in front of the central figure. On one side-piece is a nude female with legs crossed, leaning back and playing on the

double flutes. On the other, a female, closely draped, sits holding a lamp, which she is about to place on a candelabrum beside her. Visconti thinks it may have reference to a lustratio in the lesser Eleusinia; and that it is an archaïstic work of early Imperial times. It is to be placed in the museum of the Villa Ludovisi ; two plates. (II.) Gatti notes recent discoveries bearing on topography and epigraphy, including three tombs of the oldest necropolis, containing vases of the so-called Latial bucchero, bronze fibula, and bronze rings: and near the Via Genova, a quantity of bronze and other objects of the first century A.D.

Philologische Rundschau, Bremen, 1887 :

No. 1 (8 Jan.)-W. Christ, Platonische Studien, Abhandlungen der Königl. bayer, Akad. i. kl. xvii. Bd. ii. Abt. (Nusser): an interesting and valuable contribution towards determining the chronology and mutual relations of the dialogues.-Heraeus, Quaestiones criticae et palacographicae de codd. Livianis (Luterbacher): deserves to be extended into a regular and much-needed treatise on Latin palaeography.Riemann, Etudes sur la langue de Tite Live (Schmalz): one of the most valuable monographs on Latin style and syntax.

No. 3 (5 Feb.)-Fick, Die Homerische Ilias in der ursprünglichen Sprach-form (Sittl). The attempt to Aeolize Homer is open to objections: (1) the late date of the Aeolic colonies; (2) the impossibility of removing all non-aeolic forms; (3) the marked difference between the laws of the Homeric and Aeolic digamma.-Brugmann, Grundriss der vergleichenden Grammatik der indogermanischen Sprachen (Stolz): sums up in a clear and attractive form the results arrived at in Comparative Grammar since the appearance of the fourth edition of Schleicher's work in 1876.

No. 4 (19 Feb.)-Schubert, Sophoclis Trachiniae (Müller): the editor gives a new collation of the Laurentian, and of Paris A, which he regards as the chief of an independent family; the work shows a thorough acquaintance with Sophoclean literature. -Baunach, Studien auf dem gebiete des griechischen und der arischen Sprachen (Stolz): a discussion of the Gortynian inscription, followed by a publication of various inscriptions chiefly from the Asclepieion at Epidaurus.

:

No. 5 (5 March)-Pfitzner, Taciti Annales, xi-xvi. (Wolff) the editor's chief endeavour has been to follow the line of thought; his grammatical, historical and antiquarian notes are perhaps even too short; in his criticism of the text he is thoroughly conservative.-Friedlander, Martialis Epigrammata (Zingerle): a new collation of the MSS. has done much to further the criticism of the text, while the explanatory notes are masterly.-Dahl, Zur Handschriften-kunde des ciceronischen Cato Maior (Degenhart) a fuller account of Leiden V, published by Gemoll, and of Paris P, with readings from thirtyeight other MSS. at Paris, and eight at Leiden.Zacher, Zur griechischer Nominal-composition, Breslauer philologische Abhandlungen, i. Band, i. Hft 1886 (Stolz): a valuable contribution.

No. 6 (19 March)-Meister, Quintiliani Institutio Oratoria, vol. i. (Kiderlin): a great advance on previous editions.-Hermann von der Pforten, Zur Geschichte der griechischer Denominativen (Stolz): fills a gap.-Engelbrecht, über die Sprache des Claudianus Mamertus (Mohr): points out the influence of Apuleius or Claudianus Mamertus and other Gallic writers of the fifth century.

No. 7 (2 April)-Ritterling, de legione x. gemina (Pfitzner): the success of this first work should lead the writer to attempt a general history of the legions. -Menger, Einführung in die antike Kunst, second edition (Neuling): improved by the addition of new matter and photographs, but lessened in value as a school book by the introduction of Asiatic art, and a number of minute details.

No. 8 (16 April)-Owen, Ovid, Tristia, Book i. (Gustafsson): the recension of the text based on an independent collation of the MSS. is carried out on sound and conservative principles; the introduction

gives a satisfactory account of the life and literary history of the poet.-Menrad, de contractionis et synizeseos usu Homerico (Kammer): a work of much pains and learning; the author tries to show that in the original poem contraction was used only (1) in the last foot, (2) in the chief caesura, (3) where several short vowels occur close together.-Zvetaieff, Inscriptiones Italiae inferioris (Pauli): the inscriptions are not always accurately reproduced, and the interpretations are often one-sided.-Wattenbach, Anleitung zur lateinischer palaeographie, fourth edition (Ruess): considerably enlarged to embrace the results of palaeographical studies in the last ten years.

No. 9 (30 April)-Rettig, Xenophontis Symposium (Bullinger): a restoration of the work to its proper Oratoria, place.-Meister, Quintiliani Institutio

vol. ii. (Kiderlin): possesses the same merits as vol. i. criticized in vi.-Simon, on the Gortynian Inscription (Rettig): the work is not without value in spite of printers' and other errors.-Johansson, de derivatis verbis contractis linguae graecae (Stolz); a useful contribution.

Zeitschrift für das Gymnasialwesen — The JulyAugust number contains nothing of interest for readers of this Review, unless it be a most elaborate criticism of the 30th edition of Ellendt's School Latin Grammar, revised by Seyffert. In the September number there is a long review of a book by Knoke upon Germanicus's campaigns in Germany. Kuoke claims to have settled all the localities. But his critic has little difficulty in convicting him of blunders and of a want of logic almost equal to the presumption with which he asserts his infallibility. The chief interest in the criticism seems to be a personal

one.
